Installing Managed Module in IIS for use with ColdFusion Application

Windows 2022, IIS 10, DLL written/compiled under .NET 4.8, ColdFusion 2021

I have this DLL that I've compiled for use in IIS. It's very simple - it is supposed to create a header with a dynamic value for each request, and also send the same header back in the response to the client. I would like to know the very simplest way to install this DLL as a module in IIS, without having to go through the extra steps to use the Global Application Cache (GAC).

I have a ColdFusion application that is running under a site in IIS.

I created a \bin directory in my ColdFusion app, and put my DLL file there.

It should be noted that for my local install, IIS is configured to use a directory on drive Y: as the webroot, and that's where the bin directory is with my file in it. In production, the webroot will be a local (D:) drive on that system. I don't think this matters, but is worth mentioning in case it does.

So... how can I get my DLL recognized by IIS with the least amount of hassle?

I figured it out... Complete noob... turns out my code needed to be in a namespace.

Thanks for all who answered, you guided me in the right direction.
